## Veolia organizes events to collect household hazardous waste in NYC

New York City sought a convenient way for its residents to dispose of household hazardous waste. The city turned to Veolia. Now, five NYC locations — one in each borough — are open for residents to drop off designated household hazardous waste one day each week.

> "Two or three dozen people show up at each location every week to drop off their waste. We send a truck and a crew once every other month and take out 20,000 to 30,000 pounds of material.”
> 
> *— Rick Johnsen, Veolia North America Project Manager*.
